Song Premiere: Todd Snider - "Sangria Wine"

Following the release of his latest album Agnostic Hymns & Stoner Fables, Todd Sniderwill pay ode to one of his longtime musical influence with the release of his tribute album, Time As We Know It: The Songs of Jerry Jeff Walker.

“I’ve always hoped I’d stay around long enough to get to make a record of Jerry Jeff Walkersongs,” Snider said in a press release. “He’s the guy I saw at 19 and decided to try to be like. His are the first songs I learned.”

Walker, a heralded country singer/songwriter best known for penning “Mr. Bojangles,” has known about Snider’s admiration for years and was excited about the songwriter’s interpretation of his work.

“He’s been singing pieces of these songs to me for years,” Walker commented about Snider’s tribute. “It’s about time….and he didum in the true gonzo tradition.”

Time As We Know It: The Songs of Jerry Jeff Walker is set to be released on April 24 and features Elizabeth Cook, Amy LaVere and production from Don Was.
